The Absence of You

The Absence Of You Lyrics and Music by Kate Morrison Paroles et Musique par Kate Morrison I woke up this morning. The sky was so blue. It gave me no warning, Of the absence of you. Where are we going? From where have we come? We’re use to dancing to the beat of your drum. Later this morning, A call on the phone. How could we have guessed, That you felt so alone? So where are you going? (Where are you now?) And where have we been? (Where have we been?) Why weren’t we there for you my friend? Where have you gone? What was wrong? In silence this evening, In the blur of the day, To the shock of so many, Who don’t know what to say… Don’t know what to say. Who don’t know what to say… Don’t know what to say. Why couldn’t we... Why didn’t we see your hell? Why didn’t you… Why couldn’t you tell? Why couldn’t we... Why didn’t we see your hell? Why didn’t you… Why couldn’t you tell? So we’ll get through our anger (We’ll heal through the pain) We’ll heal through the pain (We’ll meet you again) And maybe meet you in heaven, To dance with DJ again!!! Dance, dance, dance… Dance, dance… Dance, dance, dance… Dance. I woke up this morning. The sky was so blue. I wasn’t expecting, This news about you… The Absence Of You Lead Vocals – Kate Morrison Drums – Christian Pamerleau Electric Bass – Claude Gay Electric and Acoustic Guitars – Donald Meunier Piano, Hammond B3 Organ and Keyboards – Jean Fernand Girard Irish Bagpipes (border pipes)– Élise Guay Irish Wooden Flutes – Élise Guay Violin – Isabelle Gosselin Accordion – Nadine Turbide Hurdy Gurdy (Alto) – Nicolas Boulerice Backing Vocals – Kate Morrison The Absence Of You Voix – Kate Morrison Batterie – Christian Pamerleau Basse électrique – Claude Gay Guitares électrique et acoustique – Donald Meunier Piano, Orgue Hammond B3 et Clavier – Jean Fernand Girard Cornemuse Irlandais (border pipes) – Élise Guay Flutes de bois Irlandais – Élise Guay Violon – Isabelle Gosselin Accordéon – Nadine Turbide Vièle à roues (Alto) – Nicolas Boulerice Choriste – Kate Morrison Produced by Kate Morrison, Moon Flower Records Assistant Producer : Line Brouillard Musical direction by Jean Fernand Girard Musical arrangements by Jean Fernand Girard and Kate Morrison Recording Engineer : Larry O’Malley Assistant Engineers at Studio 12 : Guy Charbonneau and François Goupil Mixed by Larry O’Malley, Jean Fernand Girard and Kate Morrisobn Mastered at Studio AudioBec Sono/Video by Larry O’Malley Photography by Stéphane Lemire Graphic design and Original art work painted by Deborah Davis.
